Rohrmoos-Untertal: Nature Trails and Winter Experiences

Rohrmoos-Untertal is particularly interesting for you if you do not want to limit your nature experiences to just one type of trail: the options range from a route for beginners and an alpine trail to viewpoints, a toboggan run and winter hiking trails. When looking for suitable accommodation, you can therefore primarily choose based on the experiences that are intended to shape your stay.

• Untertal is located in the Rohrmoos district and is a popular hiking and excursion destination for nature lovers, hikers and families.
• On Hochwurzen, you can ride mountain go-karts on a 7-kilometre toboggan run.
• The Rohrmoos Circuit is a route for beginners and leads through the landscapes of Schladming, Obertal, Rohrmoos and Pichl without any major climbs.
• The “durch die Höll” alpine trail leads along the Riesach Waterfall to Lake Riesach.
• The Rohrmoos Sonnenrunde offers views of Schladming, the Obere Klaus district, Pichl and the Dachstein massif.
• Johannahöhe offers a romantic view of Obertal.
• Along the Bankerlweg trail, hand-carved life-size animal sculptures provide information about the local wildlife.

Putting trails and excursion destinations into context

These destinations differ significantly in character. You can choose between a route without major climbs, an alpine trail associated with a waterfall and trails with views. This allows you to structure your stay in a varied way without planning all activities around the same type of hike. The Sonnenrunde and Johannahöhe each have their own focus: one highlights several views of the landscape and mountains, while the other offers a view into Obertal.

The Riesach Waterfall itself is also a striking natural destination. It plunges into the valley in two cascades, falling a total of 140 metres. If you want to organise your days around different impressions, this waterfall experience complements the viewpoints and the quieter trails through the landscape.

Natural history and a cultural highlight

In addition to the trails, the area also offers destinations that convey a particular connection to nature or culture. The historic ruins of a nickel smelting furnace were restored and converted into a small museum with a modern, walk-in glass display case. This gives you an insight into the former use of the site alongside the landscape and outdoor activities.
